Thanks to a desire to create a high-end product at affordable prices, college student Ryan Zanto has created Z Skin Cosmetics, which has become a leader in the organic skin care, hair care and make-up markets within a year.

Since its launch one year ago, Z Skin Cosmetics has received a plethora of accolades, including Product Of The Year by the Wall Street Journal, Best New Affordable Skincare Line by The Daily News and The Next Proactiv and Clinique By Fox News. The 26 year old entrepreneur uses exotic herbs and oils from around the world, which are said to not be used in any other products.

Ryan Zanto, CEO of Z Skin Cosmetics, says, “I wanted to bring high-end, luxury, organic products to everyday people. My philosophy was simple, ‘There’s a lot more normal people than there is untouchables, I know I would love to have amazing products that actually work that cost thousands of dollars, but that’s just a fantasy. I can’t afford it, but the thought of it is lovely, and I know many people can relate with that. So, I made a product that usually costs close to $400, and I brought it to everyday customers for under $25″.

Products under the Z Skin Cosmetic’s brand include sun screen, anti-ageing skin care, acne treatments, herbal hair products and mineral make up, including foundation, bronzer, powder, primer, mascara and lip shimmer.

Zanto continues, “I looked at what makes me a customer for life and brought that to my company, to me it’s something that should be exclusively for the rich and famous, and still has better products and services, priced for anyone to enjoy. That is what makes me a lifelong customer, high end products and untouchable service, for a realistic price.”
